thanks for sharing your takeaways from Alex and Rebecca workshop. Very insightful.

I would suggest you show the photos blown up on the screen - it’s hard to see your photos as small prints in your hand

In terms of shape, you have a bottom-left to top-right diagonal in almost all of the images in your final selection, whereas the images that didn't make the cut don't have that shape. Maybe you have a sub conscious preference for the bl-2-tr diagonal shape.

I enjoyed this. Definitely different from everything else on youtube. Pretty brave to go through every picture on the roll.

Thank you for sharing your experience. What size were your prints that you used?

Take of this video. It's proof that the boy attacked the police. You're giving them the boy on a silver platter.

Powerful images man, wow!

A street photography vlog turns into a documentary… great work putting it together mate.

Graciasss ameeeeee este video

Thank you, great reaction to the hastily worded comments (apologies if any of it was offensive!). Very educational seeing the alternative, more focused edit @driatros suggested. Good luck with the project, looking forward to the next video too and the final publication eventually!

Very cool. I've never been mentioned in a video before. I'm glad you found it to be valuable. It was great to hear about how you think of your project showing these different contrasts. The comment from our colleague about the 2 similar pictures (2:58) made me think that it was actually cool that 2 photos of a similar composition were showing the different angles of your project. That goes to show how different people may have opposite opinions. It also made me imagine how cool it would be to show your project in pairs of pictures, with contrasting aspects of life, but somehow tied together. For example, the musician and the sculptor. They are both working, but one is quarry and the other is tourism-related. They are both artists, but different forms of expression. The similar composition and place tie them together. If you look at the too first pics on column 3, there's the worker's hand and a hand taking a photo. The guy with the mask could go together with the festival masks. You could tie pairs together by elements like these, poses, items, place, composition, tonality, something clean and tidy with something rough and dirty, and so forth. You can use similar or opposite things to show related pairs. Anyway... sorry for the long-winded comment. It's been very exciting to witness your project this way, as it's happening. How cool is that?

Amo Arequipa gracias a tu impecable trabajo gracias por tan excelente aporte de cultura🎉🎉

You have a pretty good eye for street/documentary photography, sorry but you do not need to attend workshops... spend that money on travels ...

IMO, you eliminated great shots. Looking at 7:55, and if I could only show 10 photos, I would have kept (from top left to bottom right) - 1, 3, 5, 11, 12, 14, 17, 20, 24, 29. That would narrow down the scope of the project, tell a more cohesive story, focusing on the workers. Sometimes editing is not just about eliminating photos, but also about redefining the scope, leaving in what the core of your story is. A project that would talk about all these different aspects of their lives would need more than 10 photos, as I think of it. Who knows, I could be completely wrong. If I wanted to maintain a sense of all these different facets of their lives, I would think of it as 10 "spreads", some of them with more than one photo.Great work, by the way!

I took a one week workshop with the Webbs in 2015. Best is to study the history of photography before doing it. Else, you might get disappointed cuz they will not teach you how to shoot layers. ;)

Hello Richard! Great video again, thank you for sharing and also appreciate the transparency and exposing your work like this - not many photographers would do it. _Please keep in mind, this is only my opinion, one opinion out of many probably much more educated ones!_ Comment for the presentation: I think to understand/appreciate the sequencing decisions a little more, we need a bit more context. So a statement or some explanation of not only what this place is about but the intent of the work. Is it purely a documentary project about the place? About the industrial activity? Or is it about the contrast between a tourist town and industrial activity? About the sequence: @7:54 LOL...I wrote a whole comment ...JUST before you started ripping off the wall :D I'll leave it here... 0, I really like the selection of the pictures, there is a great variety to build from. I think you're right about the closeup too, especially if also trying to document the process. 1, Transitions and contrast: assuming that it's about the contrast (based on your previous videos), I think you could leverage that a bit more. At the moment it feels a bit like two parallel worlds are switching back and forth but with no real reason. What I mean is you (rows-columns) fade out (1-4 to 1-6) the industrial activity and then (2-1) fade in the tourist activity...then fade out the tourist activity (2-4) and fade in the industrial activity again (2-5, 2-6). So the whole contrast thing could be played on more, at the moment it's a little too safe, too gradual. The guy with the mask (4-2) - I think he's underutilized, he is a little shocking, eyes always tell a strong story and he could be used to elevate the contrast. 2, The second half after the masked man: not sure what to make of it, there are some great images but overall feels a little bit like filling the space to a zine length, not sure if the sequence is strong enough...AND they could be better utilized to address my previous point, interspersed in the edit. 3, Minor things: 1-5 and 1-6 feel like a jump cut in cinema, cutting similar size, similarly positioned compositions on each other. Maybe one is redundant or move to a different place? 4, I think the sequence (due to the nature of some of the environments) will need a little bit of help to break up the repetitive nature that feels when we're looking at small prints through a video. What I mean is the rock-breaking image is great, and adds to the story but it's a little lost - a good candidate to give more real estate on the page. @9:23 You got rid of some of the best pictures and left the viaduct tourist one, which to me always felt a little banal (both formally and content-wise)...just shows how everyone has a different taste. BUT...what you've left addresses the contrast point in the broader edit much better! Thank you for sharing, this is great!

Gracias a ti pude conocer Arequipa tierra de canteros excelente trabajo🎉

Thank you for sharing this workshop experience, I have their Aperture book on their process and have seen many interviews - but would be great to try it first hand sometime. As for working with prints, I find that a hybrid process works best for me. I use LR obviously, but not so much to edit but to document the process. I use some kind of free layout software (changes, Illustrator or something else) where I can freely duplicate, pair...etc images, build clusters...etc. I also print and stick them to the wall, I make sequences out of prints but then also go back to LR and do a book version to document it, I use flipbook software of one of the printers to see it flipping....etc. I try to use each to their advantage, back and forth, with the majority of the decision making happening either in print or in a cheap physical dummy format. Easier to keep track of the versions and if you need to work with someone remotely/periodically, easier to share.

If someone finds this boring, they're not into photography.

Many thanks for sharing the workshop with us.

Yo ame todad tus fotos gracias por tan maravilloso trabajo

Really great to see and understand your thought process on this topic.

Perfect timing. I just had all of my photos printed out to make a portfolio

Cant see the photos

Hello thanks for the insight into this experience/process. I’m curious about the whole editing you speak about and “look”. Do you have one preset that you use for all your photos? Or just have a collection of photos from one area?

i like your concepts. i'd like to see some of those images cropped, to make some of your concepts stronger for the viewer. like a colorful painting that has all the same color values, most of the photos are taken from the same distance. also, if you're going to include random people in your photos, try to find people that stand out, maybe with a striking colored item of clothing or an interesting look (a very old person or group of children) -- those pageant girls are fantastic. i love your high contrast vertical photo of the heads but i wouldn't place it where it is in this line up. i'd place the quarry photo with the blue sky, in its place. i'd keep the woman in the headdress next to the vertical photo for obvious reasons. also, be aware that in this line up, all but that high contrast image are horizontal, which makes it seem like it doesn't belong even though it's your strongest image. again, i like your concepts but you need to make them more obvious for the viewer. it's obvious to you what you're trying to say because it's in your head, but you need to guide the viewer more. a last example would be: in the last photo you say you're bringing us back to the architecture but your photo strongly features the band & the architecture is in the shadowy background. keep putting in the work, that's what matters. 📸📸📸📸📸 5/5

Really interesting, you never realise how much work a photographer (or any artist) puts into sequencing their work until you hear it from them. Would love to see the process and how the series evolved from there

Gracias a ti podemos tener esta experiencia tan maravillosa de conocer estos lugares🎉

I love this raw and candid approach to your craft.

Really appreciate you sharing your experience, and for providing many useful tips.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the Webbs. Do you think you will take any additional workshops with them? Also curious if you can go more into your photographic goals/projects and how that relates to the workshops you are interested in.

Gracias a ti por compartirnos tan hermosas fotografias

You are not boring!

Enamorada de tu trabajo como siempre impecable

Thanks for posting, I found this interesting but the impression I got is that they sequence pretty much the same way many other people do, by looking for some kind of affinity between the images either formally or on the level of subject matter, trying to force some kind of continuity. As for your selection for the final image, you mentioned that it has a peaceful sense to it, it is also a higher angle. One of the aesthetic conventions of narrative films is to end on a crane up, huge numbers of films end that way so ending on a higher angle still is in keeping with that convention.

Thanks for posting this. I'd love to have taken the course myself. It's great being able to learn a bit about your experience.

Curious as to why you chose the asian lady to put in your thumbnail, without including her partner who was right next to her. Very strange...

this is super interesting, especially as someone who knows nothing about sequencing. i also liked looking at your photos as so far i had only seen black and white film photos of yours ! my grandparents live in a city near saint-malo, so it was also nice to see photos from a city i know a bit. thank you, looking forward to seeing more

Great info. We need more videos like this and less camera reviews. I also feel like my images also have less continuity than I would like. Looking forward to hearing how you grow from this feedback and mentorship. Would love to do something similar.

Ame cada fotografia ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Que hermoso videooooo gracias

A valuable story, thank you for sharing. Also, it's very brave of you to walk around the streets talking to a camera!

I've always been a fan of contrasty t-max. great pictures once again! I enjoy these videos sitting down looking through the photos with you. I also like that you are looking at them for the first time in this one it reminds me of going through a new roll with my friends

Trabajo impecable maravilloso rollo en blanco y negro ame cada una de tus elecciones de fotos gracias por darnos a conocer tan excelente trabajo

I'm loving these videos, they're so different from everything else on youtube. Keep it up! I especially liked the portrait of the man with the flowers and the photo of all the vertical lines with the man standing in the doorway. Also, you could try just flipping the video 180 degrees in post production, so that you don't end up with the issue of having to look at your photos upside down. Another thing is that I've never seen T-Max or Tri-X come out so contrasty! I mostly shoot Ilford stocks as I'm from Europe and that's cheaper here, but still. I suspect it's something to do with how the lab is printing your shots. I suspect that they scan the negatives, invert them, and then print digitally, which is probably how that one of the balloon slipped through as a negative.

I hope you don't mind me asking what camera you used? I really liked the look of your pictures. They look so good! thanks.

I like what you have done but there is so much click bait out there that distorts the truth of the event, your click bait totally takes away from your otherwise good presentation. I think many are beginning to react to these distortions and misrepresentations on the net. I have unfollowed some I liked because of their click bait presentions

Excelente trabajo sin palabras quede completamente capturada con tus fotografias trabajo impecable 💥💯👏

Where/How did you get the negatives printed like that? Is it an original enlargement from the negatives or did you print the scans?

Your title is misleading and besides your photos - which are good - you offer no value to anyone coming to learn something based on your video title. I could have done without watching someone’s travel slideshow
